Great experience

This was a fun experience to have in Christchurch. The day we went wasn't too crowded though it would pay to be there right for the start of the session. Could do with more seating to change shoes/skates.

Good concept

Good idea ,fun ,but unfortunately I went at night before closing and maybe the rink was not so great cause of the whole day of being used .I could not skate properly on it ,plus the skates were extremely sore on my feet .I'd suggest goin in the morning while the rink is fresh

Great time

Had a good time at the rink. Wasn't very big but we still managed to skate and fall over in space. Bit disappointed to find that you had to pay for the support, penguin looking plastic things!
